Tourist Season in Brazil

Tourist season month by month. Legend

Tourist season - time period with sightseeing-friendly weather (or sunbathing in the case of small island countries) for the average tourist. For countries with a large geographical spread, the most visited places were taken into account and the data were averaged. For selected countries, seasonal holidays were also taken into account, as long as they significantly affect the tourist traffic in this period.

The warmest months of the year, being the best time for beachgoers, especially those vacationing in the south of the country. The northern and eastern coasts are very hot and muggy. Rainfall may occur in the form of short-lived heavy downpours, but will not interfere with your vacation. A very good time to organize trekking and sightseeing.

The area of the Amazon Plain and the Pantanal plains are haunted by tropical rains, raising the water level in rivers and flooding some areas. You can then see them by boating.

In February/March, one of the most spectacular events takes place in Rio de Janeiro - the Brazilian Carnival. It attracts about a million tourists from all over the world.
